| I've uploaded a video onto youtube. It's only a first attempt and I'm open to suggestions: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| I like the song you chose Shelagh, quite fitting. The cover's text is a little grainy, though. Is there a way to make it sharper? I know squat about this stuff, so maybe it is just my eyes that are grainy! But I like what you did. |

| Thanks for checking it out Zada! I was disappointed with the quality. I'll see if I can improve it or come up with something completely different. |

| Like Zada, I have no clue how to make these videos, so I can't say whether it's the video creation software or the cover scan that created the grainy look.
Otherwise I like the video. Cool song, too!
Thank you for all the work that you do.

| Looks and sounds good.
Just a thought:
What about scrolling the names of the authors on the video? |

| That's a great idea Abe! Meanwhile, I have changed the video slightly. Please check this out and tell me what you think: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.](I think it's Dick on the typewriter!) |

| VERY nice artwork.
Hope you got rights to the song, by the way. They are terminating a LOT of accounts lately for people using even smidgens of copywriter music. |

| Great job, Shelagh. I like the way the back cover blurb comes across the screen. Easily read. |

| I applaud the use of two-finger typing. My dad was a journalist and he typed that way. Then he taught me to type that way. And, to the consternation of the teacher in a typing class I once took, I could type faster that way than the other kids could when using the "correct" method.

| Shelagh it looks great - very elegant and I too love the song you picked! I can almost see Dick in the background with his pipe clenched between his teeth and typing in time to the music --  |

| Good for you, Malcolm. Reminds me of my dad when the teachers tried to make him write with his right hand instead of the left. He practiced at home for hours at a time and developed the most beautiful penmanship I have seen. I am at least the third generation of lefthanders and my writing is unreadable even by me. |

"Typewriter" is the animation feature for the text that appears on the screen (as though it is being typed -- by two fingers, of course!)
